FF3 looks really good right now

that's great to hear!

i'm missing some features in safari, which makes it unusable for me. though i do test personal projects in it.

BrianFreud: http://320x200.org/post.py/2008/quaristice.txt is probably very b0rk in any IE.

is anyone running their own local version of the musicbrainz server?

yeah, I'd love to upgrade FF, but I do way too much with GM... GM added FF3 support a month and a half ago, but it's still too buggy to use for dev

w33d5: Only everyone who's active in the channel right now.

heh look at that

i have a list of 12000 files to clean up

still have the pre-October version installed, lol

12k? that's nothing :D

is there a significant speed boost using a local copy?

warp: Haha.

w33d5: are you using PUIDs? Or just metadata lookups?

mneta

some have trms

you

you'd need to install the lucene search server.

as well.

read: lots or work. :)

*of

warp: Beauriful: http://faux.uwcs.co.uk/quarististice.png :p

right now i'm using jaikoz which is a bit fustrating

warp: IE 6 sorta renders it - it renders up til this, then dies: <object class="thumbnail" alt="Quaristice" title="Quaristice" type="image/svg+xml" data="http://320x200.org/2008/quaristice.32...; width="320" height="200" />

FauxFaux: lol

BrianFreud: how surprising :)

and the java is slow as balls

warp: You massively lose my definition of a site that decays properly. =p

any sugguestions on linux enabled mass taggers

w33d5: use picard. I tagged 10k reasonably well tagged files in 3 hours.

aside from picard

have you tried 0.9.0?

all the dragging is ridiculous

maybe not

its gets unbearable when there are 200 albums listed below and you can see where you're dragging

well, I garantee you that you can tag your files faster with picard than trying to install all teh MB server.

FauxFaux: the site is mainly intended for some svg experiments, i didn't see the point in testing on IE.

point taken

all the dragging? I'd much rather have a tagger that doesn't make assumptions... Every other tagger I've tried, it tags all sorts of bork in, because they try to "guess" WAY too much.

BrianFreud: http://320x200.org/2007/balls.svg.html

is there much setup needed after dl'g the vmware image?

warp: Technically you can get svg support in IE.

w33d5: you're not supposed to add all 12k files to picard at once.

warp: amazingly, that actually renders 100% correctly in IE 6

w33d5: forget it. the vmware image is half of the solution.

<homer> DOH! </homer>

ok so i'll do a run with picard and see how iut goes

FauxFaux: i know, but needs plugins and HASSLE

thanks BF!

BrianFreud: any thoughts on stability getting it from the repository vs rolling a fresh copy from the source?

sorry that was for ruaok

f'ng hilarious

0.9.0 is stable and bzr has nothting newer

ruaok: I'm pretty sure the bzr has a dev 0.9.1

dev != stable

k

danke ---- PROST!

bitte, gern geschehen. :)

Can I get som votes on this so i can get my files correctly tagged? Pretty please with sugary genitaljobs om top: http://musicbrainz.org/show/edit/?editid=8494912

..genitaljobs?

Works for both sexes I hope ;)

what do I do again if the puid doesn't exist for my track ?

do I need to use the genpuid tool ?

Oh, I've tested the discussion in here before. Seems the opinion was that I was a bonus disc. :)

I kind of disagree too - it's an open point in the guidelines, no guideline expressly says to remove it. (note http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/ExtraTitleInformati... and http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/ReleaseTitle )

petros: what's on the spine?

Having said that, it does say "box set".

"Deluxe Edition" is pretty predominant on the liner...

BrianFreud: then we need disc 1 of that Deluxe Edition

well, the text on the liner reads "2CD Set" - not something like "with bonus disc"

warp: "This is hardcore"

I'm comming hardcore.

luks: disc 1 is the "ordinary" edition of "This is hardcore"

petros: I know

disc 2/bonus is be-sides,demos and shit.

per box set style, if it's a 2 CD set, then the disc 1 that's otherwise identical ought to be also listed in the DE version - that your point luks?

yes

but: "(disc 2)" needs "(disc 1)"

agreed

agreed. To me, this just doesn't look like a "bonus disc" situation where we can use that out :)

So when is it a bonus cd and when is it a seperate edition?

Last time people went the other way, now you're swinging back to my original impression.

The definition of BonusDisc doesn't really specify, but my own sense is that it's only a bonus disc if it's actually listed on the CD or liner as a bonus disc

So these "Deluxe Editions" should be listed such, with seperate entries even if disc 1 matches the original album?

"A bonus disc is a disc of material that is considered extra to the Release. It is used to show the difference between true multi-disc releases (eg, The Beatles - The White Album [WWW] (disc 1) & [WWW] (disc 2)), and normal releases augmented by bonus tracks (eg, The Fall - [WWW] Hex Enduction Hour & [WWW] Hex Enduction Hour (bonus disc))." seems whice clear to me

petros: sometimes. it mostly depends on how it's labelled on the release IMO.

er

s/whice/quite/

sometimes I wonder how I'm able to produce such "typos"

yeah, the discussion by Gecks and drsaunde seems like they wanted to change from my type of definiton of a bonus disc, such that it would also cover this type of situation.

Release is labeled by albumtitle. But in a plastic cover (as per picture) that states it's a "deluxe edition"

While I'm all for removing dupes, personally, I think that extends the concept too far.

petros: yes, i think of the cover as similar to japanese OBI's. not part of the release itself.

s/cover/plastic cover/

Anyways I've had my say. I'll let the verdict be up to you :)

Hm.. should I get an iPod nano video? :D

No!

Mirrakor I find the screen is too small

hm... I just had one over the last night - found it rather comfortable - but no in-depth-experience

uh oh

should the first one be deleted ?

It was just imported from FreeDB, nothing else done to it

:-)

:)

:) let's hope certain people apply FauxFaux *cough*, aCiD2 *ahem*

cooperaa too.

haha

woohoo!

I can shoot my "GSoC ideas" email to the list then later :)

oh, FauxFaux i missed that, when did you graduate?

The coming July.

ah. yes, the wonky UK schedule.

wonky?

"Sumer of coding is a cumin' in"

Yeah, wonky? Doesn't nearly everywhere do september->september academic yearS?

Everything in the UK is wonky

warp: yes, i can never remember their exam schedule, then there's the other stuff req'd

Especially that crazy CatCat.

Thus, july -- not may/june

The graduation ceremony isn't until early august iirc. :p

FauxFaux: US is september->June

Enough holiday, eh. ¬_¬

Our term technically finishes on the 27th of June this year, so, I suppose it's september to june.

except for certain programs that are year-round and require apprenticeships/work-study dduring the summer

*October to June, started on the first.

graduate school in the US is typically considered year-round, as you need to write/publish continually

FauxFaux: well congratulations anyway :)

technically, if you don't actually get the degree until Aug, couldn't you stil be a student for the summer? :D

You're assuming I'm going to pass. =p

you'll pass, be positive

What's your course Faux?

Straight CS (with intercalated year).

ah

I have a music minor? :P

no that's cooperaa sorry
